Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Magic - Memory Palace!
After making a deal with Orochimaru, Shuichi became increasingly busy, not caring at all about the tense international situation outside caused by him.
Strength is fundamental!
A few days later, Minato's team finally returned to the village.
After learning the news from Kushina Uzumaki, Shuichi immediately brought a scroll to Kakashi's house.
Kakashi, with his hair still wet, was surprised to see Shuichi: "Shuichi, do you have something important?"
"Let's talk inside!"
Shuichi went straight in, and Kakashi closed the door behind him, wiping his hair with a towel.
Unrolling the scroll, with a "poof" sound, Shuichi unsealed it, revealing a puppet.
Thud!
Kakashi's towel fell to the ground as he stared at the puppet in shock.
Shuichi stood up and said, "I retrieved this from Sasori of the Red Sand, a rogue ninja from Sunagakure."
"According to Sasori, he and the Third Kazekage ambushed Sakumo-senpai while he was on a mission."
Kakashi, with reddened eyes, said, "Thank you, Shuichi!"
Shuichi patted Kakashi's shoulder and then left.
After leaving Kakashi's house, Shuichi walked leisurely: "Even great generals may die on the battlefield. My strength might have surpassed Sakumo-senpai's now, but I'm far from invincible!"
"And life is limited."
"There's also the director, Asuka, Shizune, and others. One day, we'll all have to experience the separation of life and death."
"A human's life of several decades is too short..."
Shuichi's gaze and steps became more determined and powerful: "Invincible!"
"Immortality!"
...
The appointed time with Tenka arrived in the blink of an eye. Shuichi put on a suit and came to Tenka's home.
Tenka, already dressed in a kimono, was waiting. Seeing Shuichi arrive, she immediately came forward to hold him, looking him over carefully, then smiled with her eyes: "Shuichi has really grown up!"
Indeed, in the past year, Shuichi had shot up in height, already reaching nearly 1.6 meters.
"Tenka-san, I'm already 11 years old!" Shuichi emphasized.
Tenka covered her mouth and laughed softly: "I know, our Shuichi is already a Jonin, a person who can stand on his own!"
"Alright, let's go in together."
"Today, you're my escort!"
Saying this, Tenka pulled Shuichi into the mansion.
At this time, many guests had already arrived, many of whom were ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village.
Naturally, they couldn't help but greet Shuichi, this medical jonin, drawing the scrutiny of many merchants.
Seeing Tenka accompanying him like a young wife, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Such a young jonin?"
"The name sounds familiar!"
"Of course it's familiar, he's the youngest jonin in the history of the Konoha!"
"And he's also an outstanding medical ninja, I heard he's Lady Tsunade's disciple!"
"Speaking of which, is he going to be with the second daughter of the family?"
"It looks that way, but isn't he a bit too young?"
"If it were me, I'd be willing. At such a young age, he's already achieved so much. He might even become Hokage in the future. I've heard he's highly regarded by the Third Hokage!"
...
Hearing the discussions around him, Shuichi felt helpless.
He's only 11 years old, what a bunch of beasts!
Beside him, Miss Tenka covered her mouth and giggled, then blew into Shuichi's ear: "Shuichi, you need to grow up quickly!"
Shuichi immediately turned his head, his lips brushing against Tenka's soft lips, then he snorted lightly: "Tenka-san, you're mine now!"
Tenka was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed red. Around them, many exclamations of surprise were heard.
Pulling Shuichi to a quiet place, Tenka, red-faced but serious, asked: "Shuichi, I'm serious, you know!"
Shuichi was equally serious: "So am I!"
Tenka poked Shuichi's forehead with her finger: "I knows you have a little girlfriend, you know!"
Shuichi said earnestly: "Tenka-san, in the future I'm going to become a figure greater than the Daimyo or the Hokage, like an emperor of ancient times. Naturally, I can have multiple wives!"
Tenka heard this and widened her eyes: "Where did you hear that from?"
Shuichi pretended to be arrogant: "I've been to the Daimyo's palace many times already."
Tenka burst out laughing, not angry at Shuichi's words, but instead said with a smile: "Alright, as long as you... well, become greater than the Hokage, I can can satisfy you!"
Damn temptress, actually seducing a child!
Shuichi decided he would definitely have to teach Tenka a lesson in the future: "Tenka-san, my memory is the best."
Tenka smiled and extended her right pinky: "Want to make a pinky promise?"
"So, I still need to develop an S-rank genjutsu!"
Shuichi felt that his Yin Release nature transformation wasn't strong enough yet. With the improvement of [Genjutsu Master], it should be sufficient.
After deciding, Shuichi immediately left the study and came to the living room.
"Asuka!"
Shuichi said: "Come and help me test a genjutsu!"
Asuka, who was researching sealing techniques, immediately stood up and said excitedly: "What kind of genjutsu?"
"Will it be very scary?"
Shuichi smiled and said: "Of course not."
Asuka nodded: "Then let's do it, I'm ready."
"Here it comes!"
As Shuichi spoke, he had already activated the genjutsu.
Magic - Memory Palace!
In an instant, Asuka found herself no longer at home, but in front of the Leaf Ninja Academy.
"Eh? Is that... Kakashi and Guy? No, at this age, it's when they were still in the ninja academy?"
Asuka was stunned for a moment as she saw Kakashi and Guy walking towards her.
Soon, Kakashi and Guy walked up to her and politely greeted: "Asuka-san!"
"Eh?"
"Um..."
Asuka hurriedly responded: "Hello!"
At this time, another voice came from behind: "Asuka!"
Asuka turned around and saw a young Shuichi: "Shuichi?"
Shuichi nodded: "It's me!"
Asuka immediately smiled: "Is this created using the memory palace?"
"Are these your past memories, Shuichi?"
Shuichi nodded: "How does it feel?"
Asuka looked around, even reaching out to touch a nearby tree, and smiled: "It feels very real."
"Touch, smell, sound, vision are all deceived."
"But I'm very aware that I'm in a genjutsu. I can feel my chakra, my mind isn't constrained, my body isn't fixed. It should be easy to break, right?"
Shuichi nodded and smiled: "Indeed, because it only deceives the five senses. I casually cast it based on the memory palace."
Hearing this, Asuka immediately smiled encouragingly: "This is already very impressive. Genjutsu itself is very difficult to practice, not to mention deceiving all five senses at once."
"If used against an enemy on the battlefield, changing the scene to the current battlefield, the enemy wouldn't easily notice, especially with your memory, Shuichi."
Shuichi shook his head: "While that's true, it's not my goal."
Asuka asked curiously: "Then what kind of genjutsu do you want to develop, Shuichi?"
Shuichi pointed around and smiled: "A genjutsu where once you come here, you can't leave."
Asuka, not unfamiliar with genjutsu, immediately understood: "So, Shuichi, you want to pull the enemy's spiritual will into your constructed memory palace?"
"That should be very difficult, right?"
Shuichi nodded: "You must first break through the enemy's chakra circulation system."
"So, how do you feel now, Asuka?"
Asuka was stunned for a moment, not noticing anything different.
Shuichi smiled: "Asuka, you can try to break the genjutsu."
Asuka immediately raised her hands to form seals, but the surrounding scenery didn't change. She was still in front of the ninja academy, and the Shuichi before her still looked five or six years old.
Asuka exclaimed in surprise: "Shuichi, you just pulled my spiritual will into this illusory space."
Shuichi nodded and explained: "Because you weren't on guard and didn't immediately dispel the genjutsu, it was very easy to invade your brain when your chakra was in chaos, making your spiritual will become part of this illusion, rather than just deceiving the five senses."
"However, if it were an enemy, they naturally wouldn't let me invade their brain so easily."
Asuka roughly understood Shuichi's approach and smiled: "So, Shuichi, you want to use two genjutsu consecutively with this memory palace scene. The first is to disrupt the enemy's chakra circulation, and the second is to invade the brain on this basis, pulling the spiritual will into this illusion, or spiritual space?"
Shuichi said helplessly: "This is also because I can't directly break through or bypass the enemy's chakra to directly attack their spiritual will."
The Sharingan can directly attack internally through the eyes, but he didn't have the Sharingan and hadn't found a way yet.
Of course, he also had an incomparable advantage.
That is, he didn't need to form hand seals to activate genjutsu, allowing him to do it very quickly, making the enemy enter the next genjutsu before they could complete the seals to break the previous one.
